There's no reason it shouldn't be ignored, unless your app. has code to fetch this parameter and tinker with its own CLASSPATH somehow. I don't believe that a servlet container is expected to care about some context parameter that happens to be named "classpath". It appears there's no way to do what you want to do; you'll have to copy the relevant .class and/or .jar files into the app. (or ignore advice and copy them into Tomcat's common /lib directory). Yes, that's crude and ugly. See: http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/class-loader-howto.html -- Mark H.
